Abstract

A spectrum of complications of orbital roof fractures is discussed. The authors have had cooperation with the neurosurgical service in treating nine cases. Careful ocular and neurologic examination of the patient is emphasized in an attempt to avoid ocular complications, orbital deformities, ocular muscular imbalance, enophthalmos, blepharoptosis, and intracranial complications. With intracranial involvement, a combined neurosurgical and ophthalmologic approach is indicated. A superior orbitomy is indicated if there is a simple fracture of the orbital roof without involvement of the inner table of the skull.
